The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences has officially unveiled the nominees for Interactive Achievement Awards, which will take place at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo. The event, which will be hosted by renown comedian Martin Short, features awards across several categories, and not only was IGN.com nominated for Entertainment Site of the Year (whoo-whoo!), but our friends at Sega received a number of nominations across several categories, as well.

The following is a list of Dreamcast nominees: Namco's Soul Calibur is up for Game of the Year, and joins Sega's Crazy Taxi in the running for Console Game of the Year. CT was also up for Action Game of the Year along with Metro3D's Armada, and both Ready 2 Rumble and Soul Calibur received nominations for Fighting Game of the Year.

Sega Sport's NFL2K was the lone Dreamcast rep for Sports Game of the Year, and also checked in for CRAFT: Sound Design and yet again for CRAFT:Visual Engineering, where it was joined by both Sonic Adventure and another Sega Sports product, NBA2K. You go, Visual Concepts!

Rounding out the nominations in the CRAFT: Gameplay Engineering category are (surprise) NFL2K and Crazy Taxi. The awards will be held on the evening of May 11th, so expect a full report the second day of the show on how Dreamcast faired.
